Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

The history books only wrote four words: "Striving to become emperor".

"I hope the Senate has some self-awareness and doesn't cause me any trouble, otherwise I'll get to experience what it's like to have 'extermination of nine generations of a family'."

Lin Si thought about that scene and still felt it was somewhat cruel.

"Forget it, let's just exterminate their entire clan."

Krydela, in her consciousness, was somewhat puzzled by these words.

What does "punishing nine generations of a person" mean? What does "exterminating three generations of a person" mean?

She muttered to herself, "Sometimes this person just comes up with some unexpected words."

But Lin Si's tone clearly indicated that she was thinking about how to 'punish' the Senate.

"Is it a form of punishment?"

Chapter 299 Caesar's safety is of utmost importance

You mean,

Aglaia sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Heather in front of her.

"Could Caesar not be the Caesar we know now?"

Her tone was very calm.

She had sensed something was off about this before, but she hadn't thought about it much. However, after Heather said that, Caesar did indeed have some problems now.

Hathaway nodded.

She just recounted what happened today.

From Caesar's sudden change of strategy and the production of those strange weapons, to the matter of Serones and Frost, to Caesar's statement that he would not attend the victory banquet, to his unusual way of speaking, she did not omit any details and told everything exactly as it was.

After listening, Aglaia remained silent, her gaze lingering on the dappled light and shadow on the stone table surface, lost in thought.

Tibao sat on the edge of the flower bed next to her, her hands supporting her chin, her little feet swinging back and forth.

"Could it be related to Zagres?"

She suddenly spoke up.

Thirty-five years ago, during that period, Krydela suddenly began frantically searching for information about the treacherous Titan Zagreus, reading every available text, and even personally exploring ruins marked as 'dangerous'.

Although she only said it was for the purpose of "researching Titan history", it did attract a lot of attention at the time.

In the common understanding of Onpharos, Zagres is the schemer and strategist among the twelve primordial Titans, whose fire was taken away during the Titan wars at the end of the Golden Age.

For more than a thousand years afterward, he never appeared as a Titan, nor did he perform any miracles, and was therefore classified in official history as one of the 'first Titans to fall'.

The fact that a Titan that had fallen more than a thousand years ago suddenly made contact with Caesar in the modern era is itself a strange thing.

Why was Crydella herself not at all surprised when she saw Zagreb's shadow?

Because Tirion's prophecy required the acquisition of all the Titans' fire to complete the rebirth, Crydira had already considered the veracity of those circulating legends.

She had already considered the possibility of facing all the Titans.

"Indeed."

Heather said in a low voice.

“I’ve thought about that too. The shadow that suddenly appeared next to her after you left was indeed suspicious, which is one of the reasons why I didn’t do anything rash.”

She paused for a moment.

"If that really is related to Titan, then it's beyond my ability to judge."

Aglaia was silent for a moment, then looked up.

"Heather sound,"

Her voice was steady.

"How about this? We'll barge into Caesar's bath later and test her reaction."

"........."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Hathaway's expression remained unchanged, but her eyebrows twitched slightly.

"If she gets angry and questions me, it proves she really is Caesar,"

Agrea continued speaking.

"If they didn't get angry..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone present understood what she meant.

Crydella never bathed with anyone. Not even Heather.

She always maintained a sense of propriety between ruler and subject; that deliberate distance was not out of indifference, but to uphold the dignity of the monarchy.

She is 'Caesar' at all times.

If the imposter who was impersonating Caesar did not immediately become angry when he was barged into the baths, it means that he either did not know Caesar's customs or simply did not care about them.

Either way, it is sufficient to prove that this Caesar is not that Caesar.

Tibo jumped down from the flower bed and patted the dirt off her hands.

"But, Aya,"

She tilted her head.

What should we do if little Caesar really gets angry?

Aglaia's eyebrows curved upwards, revealing a sly smile.

At this moment, she still retained many of the lively qualities of a young person, completely different from the calm and collected 'Fire Leader' she would become later.

"Then I'll have to trouble the teacher."

She looked at Tibao.

“Then we’ll say you drank some honey and got drunk, and that we came after you. Would Caesar really blame you?”

Tibby blinked, as if assessing the feasibility of the plan.

"........."

Heather did not speak.

She stood to the side, her left and right hemispheres battling each other.

On one hand, he felt that it was indeed inappropriate to offend Caesar in this way, after all, trespassing into the king's baths without permission, even under the guise of 'testing', was still an act of usurpation.

But on the other hand, they felt this method was indeed good, as it could confirm whether the other party was really Caesar, and also...

Did you 'accidentally' see Caesar taking a bath?

She suppressed the thought and didn't show it.

Tibao thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Ok."

She paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"However, Aya, we still need to apologize afterwards."

"Of course, my teacher."

Agleya nodded slightly.

"It is indeed inappropriate to offend a monarch like this. But there seems to be no other way to confirm it quickly at the moment."

She turned to look at Hathaway.

"Haisen, what do you think?"

Heather remained silent for a few seconds.

She glanced at Aglaia, then at Tibo.

She suddenly felt that seeking their help for this matter seemed a bit too hasty.

But she really couldn't think of a better solution.

"All right......"

She finally nodded.

"In any case, Caesar's safety is the most important thing."

==============

Meanwhile, outside the city of Ohma.

Lin Si, riding the earth beast, had already walked quite a distance out of the city gate.

He sat in the seat on the back of the earth beast—yes, a seat. The earth beast's back was specially equipped with a seat with armrests and even a soft cushion, and he was swaying along the dirt road.

Several guards on horseback followed behind him, about a dozen paces away, neither disturbing him nor too far away.

They were clearly used to Caesar occasionally going out of town alone.

"Don't say that,"

Lin Si patted the earth beast's neck, feeling the steady pulse beneath its thick skin.

"This earth beast is indeed quite good."

The backrest is very spacious, and even with a seat installed, there is still plenty of room left.

The seat was higher than he had expected, offering a wide view of the fields and hills in the distance.

"Isn't this seat a bit too high?"

He looked down at the height difference between the ground and the seat, then at the long neck of the earth beast.

"Did Caesar used to sit in a seat this high?"

He thought about it, and realized that the chessboard had been quite tall before. It seemed that Rudra was very concerned about things that were 'tall'.

However, he didn't think about it much, and then he noticed something else.

His robes were already covered with some small bits of debris, tiny lint.

"..."

He looked down at his cuffs, then at the fluffy fibers drifting in the wind along the edge of the chair.

"This earth beast is shedding quite a bit of fur."

He sighed, reached out and patted his robes, the fluffy fibers being carried away by the wind and landing on the dirt road behind him.

"Oh well, I can try out that luxurious bathhouse when I get back."

Chapter 300 Are you ready to get to work?

"The soil here is quite good."

Lin Si stood on the edge of a basin, her gaze sweeping around the undulating terrain.

In the distance are the gentle outlines of mountains, and closer by are slightly sunken valleys with dark brown soil that is soft and damp underfoot, carrying the unique scent of earth after rain.

"And the location is also very secluded."

After wandering around outside the city for a while, he roughly figured out the terrain of Ohma.

This city is built on mountains, and where there are many mountains, there are naturally many basins.

After wandering around the city for a while, he began to deliberately look for similar terrain and finally found this basin, which was not very big but had very good conditions.

Furthermore, it is not far from Ohma, about a 15-minute walk away, and is surrounded by hills, making it difficult to see from the main road.

The overall terrain is a 'humid outflow basin', with good water flow, location, and soil quality. If crops are planted, drainage and water storage will not be a problem.

He stood up and dusted off his hands.

"The water flow, location, and soil quality are all quite good, making it suitable for planting a batch of Yiren Jiahe first."
